Often as goofy as IV, but reined in enough to tell something of a coherent story, Rocky III is as corny and fun as you'd expect. There's nothing new here, but what it does it does well, and several of the boxing matches are expertly executed. There's still the strong doses of camp that would help the series' next entry earn several Razzies (the charity match between Rocky and Hulk Hogan is so damn odd). It's not the greatest film, but it's a lot of fun. "
